Nusantara Capital City (ANTARA) - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) launched the Kusuma Bangsa Park in IKN Nusantara, East Kalimantan, on Monday to serve as a place to reflect on the struggles of national heroes.

In his opening remarks, the president noted that the launch of the park is a way of honoring the heroes.

"To honor the heroes, the fighters of the nation, especially nation founders Bung Karno and Bung Hatta, we launched the Kusuma Bangsa Park," he remarked.
